So I've been thinking- should I pursue my degree in Australia?

Of course ideally, I would love to go to the States to study.

Ideals don't always become a reality though.

Australia- where? What to study? What job prospects?

Deep down I fear for my safety once I step outta Singapore- be it to Australia or to the States. Besides racial discrimination, I may also face discrimination for being gay. Or violence. Here, it is so safe to be out. Overseas.. so liberal yet so conservative.

Well, my contract did get extended.

So I'm gonna work for 1 more month.

Ah... Money.

Thursday, August 28, 2008

Say Yay!

Tomorrow is the official last day of work. 1 month, over and out!

My colleagues want to extend my contract, but as of now they have yet to inform HR, so I don't know whether I'll still be working or not.

Finally the weekends again. To get back my physical and mental strength depleted from monday to friday's work.

Getting my pay tomorrow, woot! Its about time baby! More cash to add to my Thailand trip savings!

Olympics- why can't I get to watch handball on Channel 5 man.. It is so much more exciting than swimming, running, soccer and everything else combined into one game.

I found more pictures of Ellen's and Portia's wedding. Ah... when will it be my turn..

Life can take such an unexpected turn.

Ronald just got "kicked out" of Singapore. After giving up his PR status, he has to renew his visitor pass to remain on this island. But this time, the ICA decided not to renew his latest pass. Thus he has to get out of Singapore for at least 3 months.

For those who can't understand why I am saddened by a situation not related to me, Ronald is not just another friend. He is the first and only guy friend that I am really close to.

We are so alike in so many ways, thus we click really well. Our sexuality matches, our design vision matches, our ideas always almost match, even our aspiration and ambition are so similar.

I can talk to him about even the most embarrasing topics like sex, porn, crushes, dark secrets... I mean how many of you can actually say that you have a friend to talk about all these topics? Especially when we are Asians and sex is a taboo subject to alk about.

When he told me on Saturday, I swear my heart started to cry. I have friends who have left Singapore for many reasons, but never have I been so affected. Although its only 3 months (1 month or less if his appeal works), it is just a start of more "coming in" and then "flying out" for him. Only 21, but he has more problems than most of us.
And MOE might demand he pay his poly bond of 35k. Now this is serious.

He just left at 7+pm to Bangkok. I will miss you Ronnie. Thank God for MSN Messenger seriously.

On a lighter news..

CONGRATS ELLEN DEGENERES & PORTIA DE ROSSI ON YOUR MARRIAGE!!!

They got married on Saturday, finally.

And I am surprised that 98.7fm actually talked about it (on the Shan and Ros show 4-8pm)! I mean, isn't it a taboo topic in Singapore, especially on a media front? Shan and Ros were celebrating and cheering for Ellen and Portia.

98.7fm has been, recently, more gay-friendly. It started with Shan Wee, who grew up in Ireland, commenting that how backwards Singapore is with the banning of Katy Perry's song I KISSED A GIRL. This morning prior to the Ellen announcement, Dan, Young and Ven mentioned Kanye West's stand against homophobia! And all 3 were very supportive of it. Which makes me feel a sudden sense of acceptance and acknowledgement. I just wonder what those homophobic listeners and fundimentalist christians must be thinking if they are 98.7fm listeners.

Finally the weekends.

Pay day in 7 days time! Whoo!

Besides working, I have been watching alot of Handball matches.

And I have made it a resolution to visit Denmark in the near future to watch Ikast play, though hopefully by then Gro Hammerseng and Katja Nyberg are still playing and not retired. They are, afterall, 29 already.

Ah, a northern Europe trip.. Denmark, Norway, Sweden. And actuallymany countries like Italy, Austria are all nearby.

"I don't care even if people talk about me being with a girl." - Gro Hammerseng

Work is getting boring. There isn't much to do recently, and I spend most of my time staring into space. I like having things to do and not being seen as a bummer, ya know. And time pass faster too when you have stuff to do.

And I have just been told not to listen to my music while working. Aw shucks.

Luckily its only 10 working days more.

Someone asked me a few days ago what kinda women am I interested in...

I couldn't give her a definite answer so I just left it as "how the hell do I describe to you sia".

But I went home and I kept thinking about it...

And so I looked through my collection of pictures saved on my computer, and realised that most of them are similar in many ways.

Like most people expect, I like feminine women who are either caucasians or mixed. Kinda like a SPG, I realise, except its kinda like a dyke version of a SPG. Lol. I like them slim, beautiful and well-dressed, with an aura of self-confidence.

My current favourite crush, Gro Hammerseng. Norway handball player. Out lesbian, dating her teammate Katja Nylberg. If anyone is going to Norway, please buy me a jersey of the handball team!

But what people don't realise is that while I do like feminine women, I also like them slightly androgynous. Like Ellen. Haa. Or Shane from the L Word.

I saw this lady today at Orchard Station and we got on the same train and stood next to each other. I just couldn't keep my eyes off her. I love a woman with this kinda hair :) You can't see it well, but her hair really looks like Ellen's. She is prob in her 30s judging by the wrinkles, which adds so much more character to her. Whoo!

I do feel like a stalker. Luckily I had Esther covering me while I took this picture with my phone.

I was at the Pink Picnic at the Botanical Gardens on Saturday. Pink Picnic is part of Indignation, Singapore's pride event. It was great to meet up with some friends I haven seen in a long while, including mom Vid, whom I last saw many months ago.

This morning I was at OLPS church for their funfair. Was there to support my dad, plus he was giving me and sis tickets, which translate to me saving money for lunch :)

The weekend passed so quckly. Back to work tomorrow. Yawn.

I just saw British supermodel LILY COLE outside Wisma!!

She is freakishly tall, like 2m, but officially it is recorded that she is 1.79m. Though I swear Esther and I thought that she is wayyy taller than that height.

Or maybe because we are short midgets, anything that towers above us are magnified 2X.

My first major sighting of my life. Don't you agree with me, Esther?! Poor Jan, she was looking at the wrong direction at the wrong time.

And did all the other Singaporeans who walked past her (and her also-very-tall-maybe-a-model friend) realise they just walked past a supermodel?

Other than this, my life has been pretty normal.
